I’m hoping so, considering you loved me after this and this. I think. By the way, I enjoy this unconditional crush we’ve got going on.

Believe it or not, and judging from today’s title I’m sure you’re teetering on “not,” I have a plethora of healthy meals to share with you.

I swear. That’s actually what we eat… like 80% of the time. Sort of.

I just can’t.get.them.out.

There is something utterly gratifying and spectacular about creating a recipe that makes you feel the need to go to confession. A cookie that makes you feel like an adulterous glutton, a chewy round of peanut butter laced with chocolate candied bacon that feels so wrong but tastes so right. A snack that lands at the top of the list for thisiswhyyourefat. A sweet and salty fusion that sends many into a panic, who claim that you’re the reason “all Americans are fat” and this particular cookie deems you responsible for all childhood obesity occurring after May 17th, 2011. Something a little freakish about putting pork in a cookie, I admit. It happens people. Forgive me for I have sinned.

Don’t fight the chocolate bacon. Just give in.

And don’t ask why my brain decides to come up with these things – I find it nearly as convoluted as you do, and I have to live with it. It’s pure torture I tell you.

Recipes like this are just so much better than green stuff. That’s my argument. And a fact.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Dip candied bacon slices in melted chocolate and let come to room temperature while preparing the dough. If needed, stick them in the fridge for a few minutes.

Cream butter, peanut butter and sugars together in the bowl of an electric mixer until fluffy – about 3-4 minutes. Add egg and vanilla, mixing until combined. Add flour, baking soda and salt, mixing until just combined and dough forms. Crumble bacon and fold it into dough. Drop tablespoon-sized dough balls on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes.

Yum!!! I love to bake up some cupcakes, and I always plan to make bacon for breakfast the same day. That way I can dip some of the leftover bacon in frosting. It’s a beautiful combination!! I’m positive I would totally love pork and cookie!

OH…..MY…..WORD!!!! This has to be sin! Haha:) But boy does it sure look delicious! I have actually never even had chocolate and bacon together….or even candied bacon….but I must try this combination very very soon..for sure!!

Oh My Gosh…I loved you even more after each step/picture. It’s 7 am and all I want to do is devour a whole batch of these. There is NOTHING better than peanut butter, chocolate, and bacon…be still my heart :)

Is this what you were talking about on Twitter being the mortal sin? If so, I have to agree! If not, I’d hate to see what is!
Fabulous combo – of course I’d have to add a smidge of maple flavoring to give it that triple heavenly mix of bacon, peanut butter and maple syrup!!

mmm i love chocolate and bacon. my aunt bought me a chocolate bar with bits of bacon in it. it was amazing. and i love the whole idea of chocolate chip cookies with bacon, or chocolate cupcakes with bacon…so why not peanut butter with chocolate-coated bacon? amazing.

Going to your website is like going to a restaurant while waiting for the food and looking at the other table’s food with envy. Sometimes I just want to steal a truffle french fry from my neighbors plate but they would probably think I’m crazy. I look at your food and think, can I have a bite? :)

Why would we hate you? That sounds genius and so bookmark worthy. I’m saving this for later. I made some brioche donuts with a maple glaze and bacon crumbles over the weekend (posting this week) & thought of you.

ok- I haven’t been able to truly embrace bacon in baked goods after a rather nasty run in with a “bacon” chocolate bar- but these cookies look so good, I think they could change my mind. I also think a certain husband would die of happiness…

The Wisconsin State Fair has had chocolate covered bacon on a stick for the last few years now and when they first had it I was skeptical but it’s delicious! I bet it’s even more fabulous in these cookies and candied!

I’ve been reading your blog for about 6 months, and what came to mind when I saw this title was, “It was just a matter of time.” The 3 loves combined: chocolate, peanut butter and BACON! It was bound to happen at some point!
